Terminator supports tabs. Tab header height is sometimes considered too big. This can be fixed with gtk styling.

From version 1.9 Terminator uses gtk+ 3, so that configuration can be done in {{ic|~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css}}.

The items to customize are 'notebook tab', 'notebook tab button'. (note that this affects other gtk3 applications, too).

==Managing profiles==

+

It is possible to start terminator with a random profile every time. To avoid unexpected behavior, you should start with a clean {{ic|[profiles]}} section. You can copy the one from this file: http://pastebin.com/gGvYH6zD. It contains many well-known color schemes. Copy its contents to your {{ic|config}} file, which is located in {{ic|~/.config/terminator/}}. Then, {{ic|cat}} your list of profiles to a destination of your choice.

Bonus: Go to the terminator preferences and under the "keybindings" tab, take note of how to switch to the next profile. This way,if the profile Terminator has started with is not your liking, you can quickly change it.
